And then there’s this. Only 10% of Americans say the economy is better under Trump (65% say it’s worse.) Only 5% say their household finances are improving (60% say it’s getting worse). He cuts deals for billionaires while betraying America’s working families. americanresearchgroup.com/economy/

This is because people stood up, boycotted & did not cower. Freedom of expression is a sacred part of what makes America so great, and Americans are not going to let this President censor ideas—or jokes— they don’t like. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/b...

We’re glad that all of our union members at Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be back to work tomorrow. Their jobs never should have been on the line in the first place.

This new contract not only addresses concerns about workplace violence prevention, but establishes safe staffing levels so patients get the care they need to recover and thrive. Congratulations @HPAE.bsky.social 5058! patch.com/new-jersey/a...

An inexcusable tragedy is being weaponized to censor educators & chill speech. My job as a teacher & union leader is to convince people hate speech is wrong, not to hand the government power to censor. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

America is currently the world leader in cutting-edge medical and scientific research, and we want to keep it that way. Tell Congress: No cuts to federal science funding or student aid! #HigherEdBenefitsEveryone @AFTHigherEd.bsky.social @AAUP.org actionnetwork.org/letters/prot...

Hundreds of healthcare providers in rural areas depend on Medicaid funding to keep doors open and care for patients. But Trump’s #BigUglyBill cuts millions from Medicaid, leaving these healthcare providers in jeopardy. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/p...

Working families want to live a decent life - one where they can afford groceries, send their kids to a good school, make a fair wage & feel safe in their communities. They don’t want Trump’s extreme agenda. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is a huge red flag. Another generation is risking their financial futures to pursue a degree and build better lives for themselves through education. We need to make higher ed more affordable and accessible. @AFTHigherEd.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...

The framers of our Constitution understood that critical thinking was absolutely key to stopping tyrants. That’s what educators do - teach students how to think critically. And that scares some in power. Thank you @velshi.com for talking to me this weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuNl...

Exactly. "The High Holidays are a call to temper our certainties, to confess our arrogance, and to recognize that courage and wisdom are found not in silencing disagreement but in learning how to live with it." wapo.st/4mqh7bq

Shanah Tovah to all who are observing. Rosh Hashanah is a time of reflection & renewal. This new year reminds us to recommit to justice, to community, & to the values of democracy. May we meet this moment with courage & compassion.

I’m sorry to hear of Leo’s passing. He was an effective, inspiring leader who never forgot where he came from and was always building alliances for working people in North America and around the world. usw.org/press-releas... @steelworkers.bsky.social

GREAT NEWS: Disney says 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to ABC on Tuesday! How does that make you feel? 😁

Yes!!!

I listened to Erika Kirk’s speech last night. I have deep respect for her, particularly after the poignant eulogy for her husband. The contrast between her and the President’s defense of hate was profound. www.npr.org/2025/09/21/n...

We discuss a new book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers, and how communities can organize and fight back to protect public schools and critical thinking w/ @aft.org https://www.momsrising.org/bt01sep25/?source=bsky

I’ll be LIVE with @rweingarten.bsky.social today at 1030 to talk about her excellent new book “ why fascists fear teachers” www.youtube.com/live/XSePcq6...

Trump’s gutting of the DOE sends a signal to teachers to stay in line. AFT president @rweingarten.bsky.social joins me at 12p ET with her new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers." #Velshi

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works~Hillary Clinton

Thank you @wgcoleman.bsky.social and all of @AFTPA.bsky.social for all that you do for Pennsylvania students. Together, we can help kids soar. #ReadingOpensTheWorld bsky.app/profile/wgco...

Absolutely incredible event in Philadelphia yesterday. We gave out over 30,000 books to kids - plus winter coats to students who needed them, free eye exams, and more. Thank you @PFTLocal3.bsky.social @AFTPA.bsky.social and all our partners. bsky.app/profile/pftl...

The Sound School allows students to connect their passions with purpose, and gives them the chance to learn by doing and collaborating. This is what's possible with public education. #PublicSchoolProud #CTEworks @AFTCT.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aft....

Extremists have a plan: ✏️Starve public schools of resources, then criticize their shortcomings ✏️Erode trust in public schools ✏️Replace public schools with homeschooling & private, religious and online schools More: www.aft.org/column/why-f... @AFTUnion

All Americans must condemn violence and de-escalate the tensions roiling the country. In many ways, teachers can serve as the antidote to them, by helping students navigate this trauma and division and by modeling civil discourse. More: www.aft.org/column/why-f... @aftunion

States are reeling as Trump and the Republicans’ murderous budget bill slashes SNAP benefits — hitting nearly 42 million people. 🛑 62% are families with children 🛑 37% include seniors or people with disabilities 🛑 38% are working families This is an attack on America’s most vulnerable.

Taking bribes? And as Trump chastises Bondi for not investigating his personal enemies more quickly, DOJ drops a real case ?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Huh???? Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

We should all be taking a knee for Colin Kaepernick! I appreciate what he’s doing for Trey Reed! ✊🏾 #colinkaepernick #treyreed

Short staffing puts patients at risk. Unless Kaiser keeps up with other employers, staff will dwindle, the skill mix will change, wait times will increase, and patients will suffer. That's why @ofnhp.bsky.social members are taking this bold action. www.opb.org/article/2025...

A strike is the last thing anyone wants — but @ofnhp.bsky.social members know: care comes first. #onevoiceonefuture www.koin.com/local/kaiser...

Kaiser Permanente used to be the model of quality care. Executives are putting profits before patients, risking short staffing, longer wait times & worse outcomes. That's why 97% of @ofnhp.bsky.social voted in favor of authorizing a strike. #onevoiceonefuture www.kgw.com/article/news...

Exactly, @Schumer.Senate.Gov: "We do not understand why you prefer to shut down the government rather than protect the health care and quality of life of the American people." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Trump already made draconian cuts to healthcare, food assistance, and education, to cut taxes for billionaires. We cannot allow Trump & the House GOP to make MORE cuts to programs that working families depend on. apnews.com/article/cong...

Working Americans are already facing stagnant wages and rising costs, and many are dipping into their savings accounts to pay for basics like groceries. This isn't what Trump promised. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

In a country as diverse as ours, what schools do is create pluralism. And what teachers do is create safe, welcoming environments for all students to learn critical thinking and resiliency. Thank you @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...
